Website Development
Web design encompasses many different skills and disciplines in the production and
maintenance of websites. The different areas of web design include web graphic design;
interface design authoring, including standardised code and proprietry software;
user experience design and search engine optimazation.
Generated content
There are two ways websites are generated: statically or dynamically.
1.Static Websites:-
A static website stores a unique file for every page of a static website. Each time
that page is requested, the same content is returned. This content is created once,
during the design of the website. It is usually manually authored, although some
sites use an automated creation process, similar to a dynamic website, whose results
are stored long-term as completed pages.
Static websites are simpler to host, as their server only needed to serve static
content, not execute server-side scripts. This required less server administration
and had less chance of exposing security holes. They could also serve pages more
quickly, on low-cost server hardware. These advantage became less important as cheap
web hosting expanded to also offer dynamic features, and virtual server offered
high performance for short intervals at low cost.
2.Dynamic Websites:-
Dynamic websites are generated on the fly and use server-side technology to generate
webpages. They typically extract their content from one or more back-end databases.
A dynamic web page is then reloaded by the user or by a computer program to change
some variable content. The updating information could come from the server, or from
changes made to that page's DOM.
